Hello everyone!

I hope this message finds you safe and in good spirits. I am writing you today because we are three months out from the Con and it's time to start organizing volunteers.  We will need help in Programming, Registration, ConSuite, Art Show, Silent Auction,Gaming and Security and possibly Ops.  We also need help setting up on Thursday (this includes loading in) and tearing down on Sunday (this includes loading out).

Eight hours gets you a partial refund and twelve hours gets you a bigger refund.

What would you like to help with?    You can sign up online at our website Clevelandconcoction.org or send me an email here.  Please let me know as soon as possible what hours and days you're available for and what department you would like to help in.

We really appreciate your help! We couldn't have this convention without you!
